Is there a law that states how many times you can shoot a perp who breaks into your home?

Yes. Actually, the law is pretty clear on this matter. You can use lethal force to stop a threat. What you can't do is execute people regardless of whether or not one believes they deserved to be removed from the gene pool.

And Byron Smith will soon be joining Jerome Ersland as teaching examples to those among us who still remain confused.

His only mistake was talking too much.

“I was in fear for my life”. Period end of story. Hire an attorney and keep your mouth shut.

I remember that one from my self defense course I took years ago.....STFU!

I guess the lesson I take from this, is that instead of reaching for a small caliber handgun, grab the 12 gau. with 00 buckshot and just remove their heads. I guess that would be preferable, in the eyes of the law.
